My parents had the option to put me in gifted and talented in the middle of kindergarten and my teacher (who sent her kid to gifted and talented) told my parents that the trade off to consider is if you stick a smart kid in classes with other really smart kids they may not realize how special and gifted they really are. Not sure if that's true but I turned out ok and I was treated pretty special in elementary and middle school.Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11177406606612855038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107243376069300866.post-85564929458112166362011-12-06T17:23:51.693-06:002011-12-06T17:23:51.693-06:00FOIL is from algebra:
